Dorie Miller Intermediate

Summary:

Dorie Miller Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Ennis Independent School District (ISD) in Ennis, Texas, with a student population of 399 that is predominantly Hispanic (54.14%), followed by White (27.82%) and African American (14.54%) students.

Dorie Miller Intermediate outperforms the Ennis ISD and the state of Texas in mathematics proficiency for 4th grade students, but lags behind the state in reading proficiency for both 4th and 5th grade students, as well as in science proficiency for 5th grade. The school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 76.94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite this, Dorie Miller Intermediate spends $8,896 per student, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Ennis ISD, Dorie Miller Intermediate's performance is generally on par or slightly better, but when compared to the higher-performing Palmer Elementary in the nearby Palmer ISD, the school lags behind in both reading and mathematics proficiency. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Dorie Miller Intermediate to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region and address potential achievement gaps, particularly for its African American students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
